ANNOUNCEMENT 



I 



I 



DURING the past year or tAvo we have received many requests for a 
descriptive catalog of County Superintendent's Supplies so correlated 
that it will assist in systematizing the work in this most important 
office. This catalog is issued to meet these requests, and while the 
records and supplies herein listed form a most complete system of 
supervision, it may be necessary to change some forms to meet 
certain requirements in some states. We ask you to bear in mind that we 
make a specialty of supplies and records for County Superintendents, and are 
thoroughly equipped to meet your requirements. No other house in the United 
States maintains such an extensive Department devoted exclusively to County 
Superintendent's Records and Supplies. 

This Department is under the direct supervision of a University man who 
has had years of successful experience as a city and county superintendent, and 
thoroughly understands your needs. He is an expert draftsman, and knows the 
printing, binding and lithograph business thoroughly. If you do not find listed 
the record or supply desired, vrrite us your needs, and a pencil drawing with quo- 
tation will be mailed to you at once. Our large line of stock engravings and ex- 
tensive departments equipped with m.odern machinery operated by experts in their 
particular line of work, enable us to m.eet your requirements at a minimum cost, 
and to give you 

SPECIAL SERVICE 

We are not only equipped to meet your needs along the line of records and 
lithographed supplies, but we carry a complete line of office fixtures and incidental 
supplies. Send us your order for any office supply from a penholder to a steel 
filing cabinet. We have it. 

WHEN AND HOW TO ORDER 

Mail us your order whenever you are in need of supplies of any kind. No 
order is too small or too large to receive our prompt and careful attention. When 
sending orders care should be taken to state quantity, numbers and description 
of the supply desired. If the article is to be printed special, complete copy should 
be furnished. Should you desire your autograph signature printed on the certifi- 
cate or supply, please send your signature written with black ink on plain white 
paper just as you desire it to appear. This will assist us in filling your order 
promptly.

PAYMENT FOR SUPPLIES 

n 

Practically all of the records and supplies listed in this catalog come under 

g the law as necessary office supplies, and should be paid for out of the general funds | 

4 of the county, the same as records and supplies for other county officials. Our n 

l':^ courts have held that the election of a person to public office carries with it the U 

M right to purchase such records and supplies that are necessary for the faithful 4 

H and efficient administration of that officer's duties. Il 

It is our desire to extend every courtesy to County Superintendents. Supplies i| 

will be shipped by freight or express prepaid or collect, or by mail as you may || 

p desire, and invoice mailed to the officer with whom bills are usually filed as per ]f^ 
Il your instructions. Should funds be unavailable at the time invoice is filed, a war- 
is rant bearing the usual rate of interest stamped not paid for want of funds will be 
p accepted as cash. 

M 



All records and supplies are guaranteed to be of the latest approved forms, m 

good stock and of high grade workmanship. Prices herein quoted are F. 0. B. p 

I 

■ I 

P In nearly every state in the union, the County Superintendent of Schools is M 

II the only county official the law specifically states a qualification, thereby recogniz- m 

W ing the importance of that office. If the law so recognizes the importance of this jiv 

|;:| office, why not make all records as substantial as those used by other county || 

Il officials? We manufacture thousands of records for the various county offices || 

H and thoroughly understand the business. A record made from high grade material M 

>f; by expert workmen costs more than one made from, cheap material by novices, m 

m but the high grade record is cheaper and more satisfactory in the end. Cheap p 

Wl records must be transcribed in a few years; good records last for generations. || 

y Nothing disgraces a county office more than records with loosened leaves and m 

H dilapidated bindings. M 

I 

y number and size of leaves desired, with or without index, style of binding and 

ii 



Our records are kno^^^l in nearly every state for quality and fine workmanship. jL 

Send us a leaf from your old record or a pencil copy of the form desired, stating || 

number and size of leaves desired, with or without index, style of binding and '& 

inscription for back, and you will receive a record of vrhich you will be proud. M 

The foregoing color plate will assist you in selecting style of binding desired. ||

i EVOLUTION OF RURAL SCHOOL SUPERA^ISION | 



In "Ye Olden Times" the office of County Superintendent of Schools was re- M 



m ferred to frequently by other county officials as a "legalized contribution to some 

1. 



i 



fi^ superanuated teacher." In fact they considered the office a mere joke, the chief %{ 

t^ duties of the incumbent being to file a few reports, drive through the country in m 

m search of chicken dinners, distribute a little hot air, and draw his salary promptly, m 

fi Happily times have changed. Today the office of County Superintendent of |:| 

y Schools is one of the most active in the court house; one in which its influence is m 

^, felt in every home in the county. The County Superintendent of Schools is the ^ 

leader in all of the educational activities of the county; a course of study is main- M 

i 

i 



M 

4 tained; he classifies the pupils in the rural schools as carefully as the city super- 

|| intendent classifies the pupils in the city schools; he directs their progress; he 

y advises consolidation here and there; he makes the School the social center of the 

A community; standardization of all schools is his watchword. 

M It is with no small degree of pride that the Metropolitan Supply Company U 

views these changes, as it has long been considered the pioneer in carving the way m 
to better rural schools and the elevation of the office of County Superintendent. M 
Other companies have come and gone with the tide, but the Metropolitan Suppl\ 



i 



fi 

'/j^ Company, true to its convictions, has pressed forward. At times clouds have ap 

peared on the horizon, but the Beacon Light has never failed. The best talent M 

. ,' money could entice has been employed; thousands of dollars have been expended M 

'k in securing direct information pertaining to the actual condition of rural schools || 

%: in the United States, and that information has been used in the production of ^ 

.;, special equipment and supplies that Vv'ould assist in systematizing the work of ^ 

• both superintendent and teacher. H 

f: Local conditions and laws vary so widely in the various states that our efforts M 

V; would have failed largely, had we not received the information and generous sup- A 

if, port given by hundreds of County Superintendents throughout the United States. || 

y/; To these loyal superintendents, not only this company but the patrons of our rural M 

f schools, owe a debt that can be paid only by loyal co-operation and service. To m 

both, this company is pledged. ^ 

\ Perhaps the supply that has wrought the greatest progress in rural school M 

4 supervision is the Metropolitan Classification Register. In many states the State m 

H Superintendent of Public Instruction has designated a course of study for the rural J^'.J 

',,} and small tovTi schools. Where a course of study has not been furnished by the M 

'4 Department, the County Superintendent has prepared and introduced one in his || 

county, but no course of study can be introduced and maintained without a proper ■ ' 



. classification register. It is one thing to write a course of study, but quite another m 
W to introduce and maintain one. It requires time to develop the mind, and the p 



classification of a school is simply putting together pupils of equal or nearly equa 

mental development. The Classification Register is merely a record of the pupil's || 

mental development in the various subjects which lead to the objective whole, y 

The record will show the weak points that should be strengthened in the individual M 

„ „„ ^ „ _ _ ^ . ,„ „ I

I .^ _^ ^..^ _.. -^_ _^ _.^ _.^ _^ _ 

U pupil. These can not be retained systematically in the mind of the teacher, or be f 

I transferred orally to her successor. Pupils removing- from one district to another 

II continue their work uninterrupted. ^ 

4 The Classification Register shows the complete organization of the school, ,? 

H. daily program, classification of each pupil, position of classes, pupils constituting U 

M each class, text-book used, pages canvassed, percentages earned, studies complet- m 

m ed, and a complete classification of the school at the close of the term or year. M 

^ It also contains recommendations that permit the "new teacher"' to take up the M 

■j^ work at once, avoiding unnecessary reviews and the formation of an unlimited j 

W number of classes. Pupils continue their work systematically, complete the course ; 

II of study prescribed for the rural schools and become leaders in the ninth grade of '^ 

m our best high schools. T 

p This register is the very essence of simplicity, requiring no knowledge of 

il bookkeeping and no laborious work on the part of teacher or superintendent. 
f At the close of the term or year as the Superintendent may direct, the teacher 

,J files a Classification Report with the County Superintendent, thus bringing the 

U school in direct contact with his office. The Superintendent soon learns the needs 

H of each school and is able to work effectiA'ely. When schools are closed he studies 

■o;' conditions and plans his work. 



I 



During the past fifteen years no less than twenty classification registers have 
appeared on the market as substitutes for the Metropolitan, but they have failed 
to stand the test and are now memories only. Make no mistake. The Metropol- 
itan has led the way in over 70,000 schools, and ^^i]l continue to lead. If you 
have it in your schools you appreciate its value; if you are not so fortunate, write 
us and we will assist you in securing a supply. 



1^ 



♦ 



W The Preliminary Classification Report filed by the teacher at the close of the ) , 

p first or second week of school shows whether the classification is being maintained. || 

M If not maintained, the Superintendent notes this fact and gives immediate atten- ^^ 

W tion to any difficulty that may exist. He thus becomes a real Superintendent. y^ 

J'l Supervision direct from his office during the first two or three weeks schools are 4 

m in session will prove far more effective than several months spent in promiscuous ;, ;^^ 

H visitation. If difficulties exist here and there, he corrects them at once without M 

',.^ waiting for them to grow while he is trying to find them through hit or miss vis- ^ 

m itations. Now do not understand that v\-e discourage visitation of schools; we 

y-. appreciate the influence of the Superintendent's personal contact with the school ^ 

4 and his influence in the district, but he should haA^e some definite knowledge of the * 

H school and of local conditions in order to make his visit effective and permanent. ' 

1^ The Metropolitan Classification Register, Classification Reporting Blank, and |f 

* Preliminary Classification Report form the foundation upon which modern super- 

;■•'■ vision is based. ^-'

'jk Every American whether in youth or old age has a desire to win something. * 

^4 To Win is the spirit of America, and is manifested in every American institution, g 

A The United States Treasury Department recognized this fact during the Third m 

s u. 

'p^ Libertv Loan when it offered an Honor flag to every town in the country that ||] 

Y sold its quota of Liberty Bonds during this campaign. You will remember that p 

^ ever>' town that won the Honor Flag had its name inscribed on the State Honor 'j§ 

m Roll under a State Honor Flag that was unfurled at the State Capitol. The f 

|y| result in each state was indicated on a National Honor Flag raised in the Treasury M 

m Department in Washington and is there now. Do you remember how the various 1 
is| ■■..;! 

I states contested for first place on the National Honor Flag and how Oregon won M 

W over Iowa by only a few hours ? Some contest, but the Third Liberty Loan went ^ 
f3, * U 

'§k over the top in a hurry. Q 

m A 

m Every pupil in our public schools has this same desire to win, whether the -J^, 

l;| award be for Perfect Attendance, Spelling, or any other contest. Our systems U 
m 1 

m of Perfect Attendance, Spelling, Library, and Home Work not only afford this f//

y Our certificates and diplomas are beautifully lithographed from engravings g

"1 believe there is much I can do in my country 
home. Through studying the best way to do my 
everyday work I can find joy in common tasks done 
well. Through loving comradeship I can help bring 
into my home the happiness and peace that are al- 
ways so near us in God's out-of-door world. Through 
such a home I can help make real to all who pass 
that way their highest ideal of country life." 

—From 'The Country Girl's Creed."

LIBRARY SYSTEM 



This system is to encourage tlie reading of good books. In many states, laws 
have been enacted requiring Boards of Directors to appropriate a certain amount 
of money per pupil, to be expended annually for library books. As a result, nearly 
all of our rural schools have well selected libraries. In many schools these 
libraries are ornaments only, and school officers refuse to purchase additional 
books because those already in the library are not used. 

During the past few years we have received many letters from County Super- 
intendents and teachers requesting suggestions pertaining to the use of school 
libraries. Some two years ago a teacher propounded this question: How may 
I remove the dust from the books in my school library without using a duster ? 

We did not care to discuss this question from a psychological standpoint, but 
merely advised her to try our Library System, and suggested that she select books 
bearing upon subjects the pupils were studying, and permit them to take books 
home for a limited period. We suggested that she not confine her recitation 
references too closely to the text in use, as the power of suggestion frequently 
removes dust from our oldest volumes. A short time ago we received another 
letter from this teacher propounding quite a different question. She was still 
teaching the same school, and still worried. Not only her pupils were reading 
the books in her school library, but their parents were reading them, and frequent- 
ly insisted upon keeping them two whole weeks and she did not have books suffi- 
cient to grant their request. What could she do to secure the prompt return of 
these books without offending the parents ? She knew they desired the books, as 
they often came to look over the library and remained to visit the school; they 
seemed to be so interested. We congratulated her, and suggested she hold a 
basket sociable or some entertainment to secure funds with which to purchase 
more books, that her patrons were interested and would enjoy the evening to- 
gether. 

We await results. We do not know this teacher personally but believe some 
morning she will awake to find her school a Community Center. She has removed 
the dust from her school library without using a duster. This is not fiction, but 
cold facts. 

Our Library System encourages the reading of good books; it takes these 
books into the homes and creates an influence for good that time cannot destroy.

THE HOME, THE SCHOOL— A UNITY 




\mi^^m^mms m^ m^m&mm9^mm^^m^^mi^^m^mm^^m^^m&m 



One modern trend of education is the training of the Head, the Heart, the 
Hand. The old idea of education was the intellectual, or head training only. 
Very recently, the industrial side of education has made such marvelous strides 
that we feel called upon to meet its demands. 

To meet this demand requires even greater co-operation of parents and 
teachers. The work at home, Vv^hether it be feeding the chickens or washing 
dishes, milking the cows, or whatever requires labor, is a part of industrial train- ^ 
ing. This plan of credits, therefore, is to more closely unite the home and the 
school in these important phases of education. |, 

At this age, the child is forming habits that go vrith him through life — habits if 
of industry, of neatness, of health, of punctuality, of honesty, and morality which U 
will be worth to him, in future years, far more than can be measured in dollars tk 
and cents. § 

The condition and equipment of our rural schools are inadequate to alone ^ 
meet the demands of industrial education. This is another reason for calling upon * 
the home for assistance. g 

Country life is, after all, the ideal life. Training our young to love country |f 
life and labor is in harmony with the safest, purest and most ideal industrial edu- 
cation, il

METROPOLITAN DIPLOMAS 

Metropolitan Diplomas need no introduction as they are used in every state 
in the Union, in Government schools, and in many foreign countries. We have 
over one hundred distinct styles covering nearly every phase of educational work. 

The diplomas herein listed are for rural and small town schools only. Should 
you fail to find your ideal listed, please write us your desire, and samples with 
quotations will be mailed you at once. Remember we are specialists in this work, 
and have an unlimited number of engravings from^ which we can make you a 
special diploma at a low cost. 

There are a number of photographic reproductions of our diplomas on the 
market. Be not deceived. Photographic reproduction always detracts from the 
original engraving. It looks broken and muddy. Place your order with us and 
receive diplomas made from original engravings. They cost you no more than 
photographic reproductions. 

Gold Seals and Ribbons. Gold seals either blank or embossed "County Super- 
intendent of Schools" will be furnished free with diplomas, but when gold seals 
and ribbons are desired, an additional charge of three cents each will be made. 
When placing orders, kindly state whether gold seals, plain or embossed, and rib- 
bons are desired. Always specify colors of ribbons and make a second choice of 
colors as occasionally certain colors can not be obtained. 

Diploma Stock. The ledger stock used is selected for diploma work only. It 
has an ivory finish, very heavy, tough, and makes a beautiful diploma. 

Artificial or Art Parchment. What is it? This question is asked frequently 
by prospective buyers not familiar with stock. Art is merely an abbreviation for 
Artificial. Artificial Parchment is a very heavy paper of light creamy tint, slight- 
ly rippled finish, made to imitate genuine parchment or sheepskin. The stock is 
hard and tough, and is the best substitute for genuine parchment ever produced. 

When ordering diplomas specify the stock desired. 

Cuts for Vignette Use. No extra charge will be made for inserting cut of 
building in usual vignette when a suitable cut is furnished by the customer, other- 
wise actual cost will be added to initial order. Be sure to send a good photograph 
of the building desired. Colored post card views do not produce satisfactory re- 
sults.

SUPPLIES FOR SCHOOL OFFICERS 

It is conceded by our most progressive County Superintendents that a uni- 
formity of legal blanks and supplies used by school officers and teachers is essen- 
tial to efficient supervision of rural schools, as these reports and supplies have a 
direct influence on the County Superintendent's office. In recent decisions our 
courts have held that these reports and supplies form a part of the Superin- 
tendent's system of supervision, therefore may be furnished school officers and 
teachers by the County Supei'intendent, and paid for out of county funds. The 
supplies herein listed are in conformity with the latest school laws of the state 
designated. All forms are carried in stock and can be shipped immediately. 

IOWA FORMS 

School Officers' and Directors' Manual of School Laws of Iowa — New Edition. 

A complete review of the School Laws of Iowa told in plain English. Practicing 
attorneys will tell you that School Laws are the most difficult to interpret in our 
Code. They require special study, therefore school officers should not be criticised 
for filing their copy of School Laws with Marache's Manual of Chess in the same 
pigeon-hole. A copy of our School Officers' and Directors' Manual should be in 
the hands of every school officer and director in the state. It is kept strictly downri 
to date, being revised after the adjournment of each legislature. 64 pages, pam- 
phlet binding.

Treasurer's Receipt Book, No. 1729. The Secretary's and Treasurer's records 'M 

must check as to items specified in their financial records, otherwise their records || 

will not show correct receipts and disbursements as required in their reports to g 

the County Superintendent. The treasurer should give a receipt for all moneys M 

received, designating under what item of distribution it has been entered upon his p 

record, and send a duplicate copy to the secretary for entry on his record. This M 

is a matter of good business methods. If County Superintendents will insist upon ■ 

secretaries using order books, and treasurers using receipt books, showing same M 

distribution of funds as shown in their financial records, many difficulties will be M 

alleviated, and reports will be facts instead of jokes. Our receipt book contains m

Elementary Civics Outline — Iowa and the United States. One of the most 
comprehensive outlines published. It considers briefly the political history of 
Iowa, the geography of the state, resources and industries, and its government. 
It is used in hundreds of Iowa schools as a supplementary text book. 
Price per copy, 15c; per 100 copies 12.50 



How to Organize and Classify a Country School. This little book is what its 
title implies. After discussing a few "Preliminaries" — Securing a School, Getting 
Acquainted with the District and Preparing for the "First Day" — the question of 
classifying the school is discussed carefully. This should be read by every person 
intending to teach a rural school. An excellent Course of Study is presented 
briefly for schools in states and counties having no authorized course. Excellent 
suggestions and methods in teaching the common branches are given that will 
prove of great assistance to young teachers having had no special training. The 
chapter on school government is worth the price of the book to any teacher. 
107 pages, bound in full cloth 30 

The School and Farm. Elements of Agriculture, nicely illustrated. Too heavy 
for use as a regular text-book, but excellent for supplementary work. Should be 
in every rural school library for reference.

Conceited — Order — Consideration of Others — Being Lazy — Deception — Being Sav- 
ing — Being Soldierly — Citizen Soldiers — Chivalry — ^Ambition — Procrastination — 
Habits of Play — Self-Denial — Being Brave — Habit of Teasing — Humility — Pride — 
Frugality — Habits of Study — Exaggeration — Profanity — The Habit of Borrowing 
— Habits of Service — Generosity and Stinginess — Cheating — Prejudices — Respect 
for the Property of others — Conscientiousness — The Habit of Speaking the Truth. 

Each of these topics is taken up for consideration one by one, studied and 
analyzed in its favorable and unfavorable aspects, with the assistance of poems, 
proverbs, anecdotes, etc. 

If you wish to assist the boys and girls under your supervision to become 
noble citizens, place this volume in your school libraries. It contains diamonds 
that will sparkle throughout the life of every boy or girl who reads it.

Longwell's Grammars. Inductive Method. The following points set forth 
the special features of the book in their application to actual class room work: 

1. Through the inductive lessons the pupils are led to comprehend the sub- 
ject in the most natural and satisfactory manner. 

2. The models afford additional explanation of how the work should be done. 

3. The plan of the oral work in connection with the written work gives a 
very comprehensive idea of the subject. 

4. The remarks and notes; the special directions to pupils; the great variety 
of sentences; the method of explaining gender and case; the classification and 
treatment of the verb; the lessons on analysis and the closing lessons and quota- 
tions are striking features of this publication.

YOUR FLAG AND MY FLAG 




RULE BRITANNIA 




THE MARSEILLAISE 



FLAGS OF THE ALLIES 



TO PREVENT MISUSE OF THE FLAG 

THE FLAG of the United States had its statutory beginning on June 14, 1777, 
with thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; thirteen stars, white in a 
blue field, the stars five-pointed. On April 4, 1818, "An act to establish the 
flag of the United States" provided for the addition of one star on the admission 
of every new State, to take effect on the next succeeding Fourth of July. On 
October 29, 1912, President Taft established the proportions of the flag, its length 
one and nine-tenths times its width, in executive order No. 1637. 

To-day the union (the blue field) contains forty-eight stars, "six rows of eight 
stars each, with the corresponding stars of each row in a vertical line." The 
union is in the upper left-hand corner, is two-fifths of the length of the flag, 
crosses seven stripes, and rests upon the eighth, which is white. The rules are 
fixed. No other arrangement, no other proportions, can be called the United 
States flag. 

Its misuse, or careless soiling, its neglect, may be avoided by observance of 
these five simple rules: 



Display Old Glory from its own pole, by day only, with union at top of pole. 

If no staff' or pole is available hang the flag undraped against a wall, right 
side out, w^hich will bring the union in the upper left-hand corner if the 
stripes are horizontal, or in the upper right-hand corner if perpendicular. 

Put it higher than your head. 

See that the flag you have is not of a type obsolete. Let it have forty-eight 
stars in even rows, with its length one and nine-tenths times its width and 
two and one-half times the length of the union, the latter crossing seven 
stripes and resting upon the eighth, Vv'-hich is white. 

For draped decorations and profuse expressions of the patriotic spirit use the 
red, white and blue without stars. GiA^e the flag itself an elevated, con- 
spicuous place. 



WHEN THE FLAG SHOULD BE DISPLAYED 
AT FULL STAFF 



Lincoln's Birthday February 12th. 

Washington's Birthday February 22d. 

Jeflferson Day April 17th. 

Battle of Lexington (Patriots' Day) April 19th. 

*Memorial Day May 30th. 

Flag Day June 14th. 

Battle of Bunker Hill June 17th. 

Independence Day July 4th. 

LaFayette Day September 6th. 

"Star Spangled Banner" Day (Baltimore) September 13th. 

Paul Jones Day September 23d. 

Columbus Day October 12th. 

Battle of Saratoga October 17th. 

Surrender at Yorktown October 19th. 

Evacuation Day (New York) November 25th. 

*0n Memorial Day, May 30th, the Flag should fly at half staff from sunrise 
to noon and full staff from noon to sunset. 



IN ORDER TO SHOW THE PROPER RESPECT FOR THE FLAG THE 
FOLLOWING CEREMONY SHOULD BE OBSERVED: 

It should not be hoisted before sunrise nor allowed to remain up after sunset. 

At "Retreat," sunset, civilian spectators should stand at "attention" and un- 
cover during the playing of the "Star Spangled Banner." Military spectators are 
required by Regulation to stand at "attention" and give the military salute. Dur- 
ing the playing of the National Hymn at "Retreat" the flag should be lowered, but 
not then allowed to touch the ground. 

When the National Colors are passing on parade or in review, the spectator 
should, if w^alking, halt, and if sitting, arise and stand at "attention" and uncover. 

When the National and State, or other flags fly together the National Flag 
should be placed on the right. 

When the flag is flown at half staff as a sign of mourning, it should be hoisted 
to full staff at the conclusion of the funeral. 

In placing the flag at half staff, it should first be hoisted to the top of the 
staff and then low^ered to position, and preliminary to low^ering from half staff, it 
should be first raised to the top. 

The National Salute is one gun for every State. The International Salute is, 
under the Law of Nations, 21 guns. 




"RE-MOVE-ABLE" 

GALVANIZED 

STEEL FLAG POLES 



T 




HESE Flag Poles are 
made of galvanized high 
carbon steel tubing, the 
lower half being FILLED 
WITH CONCRETE. This 
material is about twice as 
strong as the pipe out of 
which Flag Poles are usually- 
made. 

The poles are in sections 
that telescope into each other 
thus making double strength 
at the joints. This is prefer- 
able to the usual reducer couplings as cut- 
ting the thread for these makes the joints 
the weakest part. 

Sockets for the 50 ft. poles are 4l^ in. in 
diameter and the sections gradually taper. 
The shorter poles are smaller in diameter 
but they also are more than strong enough 
to resist any wind pressure. 

The sockets are separate from the poles. 
This is an exclusive feature and a great con- 
venience. In the case of the shorter poles 
the socket is driven into the ground but for 
higher poles it is usually set in the ground 
with a little concrete round the top. The 
pole is placed in the socket and whenever 
necessary can be lifted out. It requires no 
special skill to drive or set the socket, put 
the sections together and erect the pole. 

A Steel Flag Pole should be galvanized 
as otherwise it is sure to rust and become 
unsightly in a short time. These poles are 
not only galvanized but aluminum painted 
over the galvanizing and will compare favor- 
ably not only in appearance but lasting 
qualities with any Flag Pole on the market. 
During 1917 the Standard Oil Co. who of 
course only use the best, bought several 
hundred of these poles for their service sta- 
tions, and literally thousands were erected 
on school grounds throughout the United 
States and Canada. 

These Steel Flag Poles are superior to 
wooden poles for the following reasons: 

1. They will last at least twice as long. 

2. Will not rot at the base, and cause acci- 
dents by falling. 

3. Can be lifted out of the socket for re- 
painting, etc. 

4. More ornamental and reliable, therefore 
more worthy of the Flag. 



PRICES OF STEEL FLAG POLES

including ornamental truck and Manila rope halyards are as follows:

PENCILS 

The Metsuco Pencil has a green finish, hexagonal shape, embossed gilt tip, 
finest quality ruby rubber eraser. This pencil is manufactured exclusively for us, 
and is the result of years of careful study and experimenting as to the color and 
consistency of lead most suitable for use in the school room and office. This was 
no small task, but the result is well worth the effort, for in the two grades of our 
"Metsuco" pencil you will find lead suitable for use with any quality of paper. 







i 



The No. 2 grade is a medium soft pencil for use with soft cheap papers either 
in the highly glazed or rough finishes. The lead is high grade graphite with max- 
imum wearing qualities. 

The No. 3 grade is the finest Office Pencil made. We will match them against 
any brand regardless of price. The lead is as smooth as velvet and just firm 
enough to make it the best all around office pencil on the market. Guaranteed to 
be best possible quality. 

Cheapest because they are Best.

THE SENGBUSCH MUCILAGE APPLIER 

The Sengbusch Refillable Mucilage Applier is 
moulded in one piece, of genuine hard rubber, polished, 
and presents a very neat appearance. Projecting 
shoulders on both sides keep it raised from the surface 
when it is laid down. The highly polished nickel top 
gives it an attractive finish, and altogether it is an or- 
nament to any desk. 

The cap is made of spring brass, nickel plated, and 
with a flexible cushion inside, which securely closes the 
end of the tube. It springs on over lugs on the end of 
the tube, holding it firmly. Just slip the cap off, fill 
with mucilage from the bottle, replace cap, and it's 
ready for use. No delay. No trouble. No muss. 

One filling will last, in average use, several months, 
because none of it is wasted. 

The tongue is of soft rubber. When pressed against 
the paper it bends back and uncovers an opening in the 
hard rubber underneath and allows the mucilage to flow 
down. Tongue spreads it evenly over the surface. The 
instant the tongue leaves the paper it springs back 
into place, sealing the opening like a cork. No smear- 
ing, no waste.

THE IDEAL SANITARY MOISTENER 



$0.50 




Here's a moistener for fingers, postage stamps, 
gummed labels, envelope flaps, etc., that applies tiKe 
right amount of moisture, quickly, surely and easily. 
It is sanitary and efficient. The wheel revolves without 
resistance or noise. Nothing to wear out, no rubber to 
harden or become useless; no sponge to sour with ac- 
cumulating filth; no wicks, felt or gauze to fill up. Made 
of glazed white porcelain with nickel polished metal 
parts. 

It saves time and money; it saves soiling of fingers; 
it saves mussy spatterings of water.

Take the Bother 

Out of 
Document Filing 




What 
makes this 
Document 
Envelope 
different? 

"No Rubber bands or 
tapes" you say. — "Then 
what does hold it closed?" 

Two nickeled spring 
steel clasps, one on 
each end, that grip the 
folds at any expansion 
desired. 

By this arrangement 
there is no obstruction 
on the outside. The 
clasps slide in under 
the fold and are out of 
the way leaving envel- 
ope perfectly smooth of 
surface on all sides. 



With Bai\dle$s Docun\ei\t Envelopes 

"How about Ourability?" 

The durability is incomparable. Being made only of paper 
and metal there is nothing to rot, such as rubbers; no tapes to 
wear in tiemg or un-tieing and the heavy, high grade manila 
paper will last indefinitely. 




Nothing to Catch 

No rubber bands to rot 
No strings to break 
No tapes to tie or decay 
No hooks to catch 
Eliminates annoyance 
Documents spick and span 

The BANDLESS exactly fits into 
the wish you have often expressed and 
sought in vain to satisfy. It saves 25 
per cent or filing space. 

If the ;BANDLESS" fails 
to suit don't pay for it. 

IF you do not find the Bandless the finest thing of its kind 
you have ever seen — if it fails to do any of the things we claim 
for it you do not have to pay us one cent. We guarantee every 
envelope. ^4

MAILING DEVICES 

POLLY WRAPPERS 

A polly wrapper is a mailing device which is 
preferred by many to the mailing tubes. It is a piece 
of chip-wood with wrapper attached and lays per- 
fectly fiat. The article to be mailed is placed on top 
of the flat surface and is rolled up and tied with the 
tension spring. It is lighter than the tube and much 
more convenient for inserting and also remoAing the 
article to be mailed.

and mark with a pen knife or paper cutter, make a slit 
through the back of the magazine at each pencil mark 
and insert tie clips (single or double) into position as 
shown in Fig. 2. (If the magazine is side stitched be 
sure to make the slit through the center of a section.)

WEBSTER'S NEW INTERNATIONAL 
DICTIONARY 

This New Dictionary contains more 
than double the number of words and 
phrases found in its predecessor, The 
Webster's International Dictionary. The 
aim of the publishers has been to make 
the work at once a thesaurus for the 
scholar and a handbook for all who read 
or speak the English language. Impor- 
tant changes have been made, the prin- 
cipal of which — the division of the page 
with the important words above and the 
less important below — shows a marked 
progress and facilitates quick consulta- 
tion. The important words are printed in 
clear type, and not crowded as formerly 
with words of minor importance. 
The Spelling and Pronunciation recorded is the best English usage, ascer- 
tained with special care. The historical arrangement of definitions is used 
throughout, presenting a picture both of what the English language is today and, 
in no mean degree, of what it has been at all preceding periods. The Synonyms 
are entirely a new work and in extent and character distinctly superior to the old; 
the Etymologies have been revised throughout and in many directions represent 
original work of special value; Legal terms are treated with more fulness and pre- 
cision than in any dictionary; the Natural Sciences, Religious and Theological 
terms. Military and Nautical definitions. Mechanical and Civil Engineering, Me- 
chanic Arts, Social Science, Music, Domestic Arts, completely handled. 

PICTORIAL ILLUSTRATIONS have been increased to about 6,000, and util- 
ity and accuracy were the guiding principals in their selection and execution. The 
Biographical dictionary and Gazetteer of the World have been enlarged and cor- 
rected in accordance with the latest authorities. 

This work contains more mformation of interest to more people than any 
other. Over 400,000 defined words and phrases with general information prac- 
tically doubled, it represents the results of the highest scholarship while the su- 
perior quality of paper, excellence of press work and fine binding recommends it 
to those who want the best, and a work that is new from cover to cover. Contains 
2,700 pages, 6,000 illustrations. Full Law Sheep Binding. Patent Thumb Index.
